What is the strength of the 2012 Syracuse football team? Is Ryan Nassib the guy that can lead the Syracuse to a solid season? Is there any unit on the team that could be considered the best in the Big East? Just how bad are the NFL's replacement referees? Can any manager help the floundering Red Sox?

These and other topics are discussed in this week's edition of The Bud and Brent Show.
